I loved this story! In particular, I loved Combeferre and Grantaire, the former because I can see someone as close as he and Enjolras reacting in exactly the manner that he did (even though maybe 'Ferre was a little harsh occasionally, I could still see it); and Grantaire with the alcohol consumption and self-esteem issues. I imagined Grantaire doing something stupid also, and I couldn't help but wonder what would've happened if he had left before Combeferre and Courfeyrac got to him. And I love Courfeyrac in general, he's just fun!

Enjolras gets a lot of development in this story, which I like, particularly your reasons for his being so afraid of hospitals. Very interesting. This must've been difficult for you to write and I think you did it admirably. Well done!

Oh my darling I have missed you so so much! I'm so sorry that life has been rottenish for you lately… And I hope and pray it gets better soon!

This chapter was STUNNING… I don't know what you were so worried about… It was beautiful. Combeferre bathing Enjolras literally was the most moving thing ever… Those stupid brothers are too stupid and wonderful I have no words…

Wonderful, wonderful job, and I hope to be able to hear from you, if not see another chapter from you, again soon!

I was actually just rereading this story last night, and then when I woke up the update was there! This was great. I love the way you write Ferre and Enj, and just ahhhh this was great. I'm sad it's over though :(
Wishing you all the best!

YOU'RE BACK! OH MY GOD YOU'RE BACK! *happy dance ensues* Gods be good I've missed you! :) Oh this is wonderful- truly wonderful my dearest friend- such a lovely present for me to find after a full and tiring day of revision- thank you, thank you, thank you! I'd forgotten how brilliantly you write the dynamic between Enjolras and Combeferre- our blonde revolutionary's stubbornness is just so perfect and the final image- oh my darlings… Stunningly done as ever Mon Ami and please keep writing- you have a whole legion of people behind you and as I've said before- some truly formidable talent- well done! Much love xxxx

I'll be honest, there were some parts of this story that had me fearing for Enjolras (I actually believed you were gonna kill him this time once!) as it's physically darker rather than emotionally darker (if you get what I mean) but I'm so glad he pulled through in the end and I loved all the vulnerable!Enjy bits. Which was pretty much the whole story. Meaning that I loved the whole story.

It's good to have you back! I was prepared to wait until January for an update from you as I understand how difficult life can be sometimes, but we just finished school today and to find this in my alerts makes me nothing but happy. I hope to see an update on The Medical Student and his Protege and/or Shifting Grounds soon!

I have no words at all, words simply don't do justice for how...I can't even find a good enough adjective to describe this book. The passion, the heartbreak, the small parts that made me laugh and the others that made my eyes burn (damn ninjas chopping onions!),...you have a gift for words. And this is...simply amazing. I really can't say anything else.

I really liked this chapter. It's really sweet the relation between Combeferre and Enjolras and how they know each other so well. Now, I hope we can know a little bit more of Enjolras' childhood story.

great chapter as always! love the development of Enjolras and his back story! cannot wait for the next update :D

Rosey chapter 24 . 9/25/2013

My goodness I have been lazy with logging in lately...

My dear this chapter was BEAUTIFUL. And our headcanons about Enj and his fears and memories are freakishly alike. It's bizarre! This chapter was stunning, and poor poor Enj! I just want to scoop him up and shield him from the world. Especially since I share his fears of being alone... I'm always afraid people will find me "clingy." As Ferre put it. Perfect, relatable chapter... Please update soon!
